LOVE IS… WHEN YOU’RE
IN PERFECT HARMONY

LARISSA CALDERONE

CO-FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

The Real Deal:

I am a total travel bug, and would hop on a plane to explore the world any chance I get! You will never catch me not in a dress, regardless of the occasion, but truth be told, I am a country girl at heart.

I’m a work-a-holic, spreadsheets make me insanely happy, and I believe any time of day is the perfect time for champagne (there is always something to celebrate)!

My heart belongs to my wonderful husband and our ‘oh so cute’ Goldendoodle puppy, Tucker! I believe in dreaming big, working hard, and making the impossible a reality!

Official Biz:

After receiving a Master’s degree in Human Resource Management & Industrial Relations from the University of Toronto, I began my career as a Strategy Consultant at a Fortune 500 company, and continue to create and execute strategies on a corporate and creative level.

As a certified Wedding Planner, I love helping couples bring their vision (and Pinterest dreams) to life in a way that authentically represents each unique couple. With a vast array of wedding experience, I have an eye for bold colours and soft textures, accented with unique and personal details.

When I am not planning insanely beautiful events, I have a passion for working with young adults that have recently lost a loved one. I believe there is always time to give back, and that together, we can all make a difference.

FILOMENA FELTMATE

CO-FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

The Real Deal:

Whether it’s a wedding or an anniversary, a bachelorette or a homecoming, people often spend as much as a year planning and envisioning their special event. As an event planner, I love helping turn that vision into reality, and watching all that thought and effort come together in one beautiful day!

When not helping craft that special day or fabulously memorable evening, I’m spending time with my husband and our two beautiful boys, enjoying a little ‘champs and chocolate’ during some downtime, or lending my time to one of several charities that are near and dear to my heart.

Official Biz:

With a background in Public Relations and Event Management, I am a certified Wedding Planner with the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada (WPIC). Having been in the business for over ten years, I’ve planned, organized and overseen everything from weddings to corporate events. I’ve guided couples in carefully selecting the perfect venues, florists, and entertainment for their weddings, and have helped manage the delicate balance of dream and budget. Likewise, I’ve kept speeches on time and MCs on point, and have cleaned as many marks from white dresses as I have fixed crooked boutonnieres. (bobby pins are a must!)
